23.6" Asus VS Series 1080p LED Monitor (VS247H-P) $120 After $20 Rebate + Free shipping (expired)

use e bates today for 2% on newegg, and then use Discover(signed up for 5% cashback this quarter for online shopping). Without tax, i think this brings the total down to $110 after rebate. Great price for 24" monitor with HDMI!! Thanks OP!

Remember for at least in CA (not sure about other states), you have to pay $8 in a recycling fee

Alright, this is exactly what I need within my budget. 2 Monitors for 240 dollars! But.... it seems these monitors can't be flip to vertical stand!!! And VESA wall mount thing seems expensive and don't think I wanna try that...

Now I'm building my very first computer soon in 2-3 weeks. What's the chance a better monitor deal appears during Christmas season next month???

QuickStriker - I'm not sure exactly what you are looking for, but I don't think you will find anything anywhere close to this price range that has a stand that allows you to go vertical. This has VESA compatible mounts, meaning you can purchase a cheap ($10) wall mount and hang it up on your wall sideways.

This will work, but is a minor DIY project because you will want it supported at two points and also on the stud. So you could just take a piece of wood, screw it into the stud, and then mount the LCD on that. I hope this makes sense..

As far as a better deal coming up in the next few weeks, I would say chances are pretty good. At least one within $20 of this.

Hmmm alright, so a vertical function may be costy in this price range.

But in terms of a better deal, you're saying there is a good chance there might and will be a greater deal than now or you're saying pretty good chance of not seeing another deal like this?

If there is a chance for better deal, I can hold for several weeks until I start building my computer and I do have my temporary 2 half-dead half-hearted half-busted monitors to use until I find a deal but hopefully before New Years.

I grabbed this monitor on Sat. Sitting at my apartments front desk waiting for me to pick up as I type this (I love newegg's shipping!)

I think there IS a good chance there will be a similar deal to this, or perhaps not quite as good. I am not an expert, but I feel like $120 is pretty slick, and $140 is a good deal but not too uncommon for something like this.

I don't think making it vertical will be very hard at all, as long as you are comfortable with a power drill and maybe a circular saw. I bought some basic Rosewill LCD mounts for $10 each a while back. They have two parts - one which mounts on a stud through 2 vertical holes, and the other which mounts onto the back of your monitor. Then you can slide them into each other and you're done. You can do this sideways as long as you have something in between the wall and the mount to ensure it is mounted securely on your stud.

newegg has some order issues now.. placed my order at 1p but not seeing my order status yet.

Working on 2 of these monitors right now and I really like them. I've had them for about a year and I've been very happy with them. I use them for work now but I used to use them for gaming and I've been very happy with them all-around.

If you have a wobbly desk these monitors have more of a tendency to shake a bit (never an issue on a stable desk)

I was trying to find a decent monitor with a portrait orientation. The cheapest is around $200....

ordered one yesterday from the previous deal...also opened a newegg preferred acct and got another $25 off making it $95

The most important thing to consider for vertical or portrait orientation is not if the stand supports it, but rather how it will look or how the display performs. A TN panel is not going to work in a vertical/portrait orientation. They have like 15deg off center vertical viewing, you will only get a decent image for the part of the screen you look directly at. You need a screen with 175-180 deg viewing angle something more like IPS, some other tech based screens as well.

They put out TN panels with vertical stands but they do not work! You can't see what is displayed on the screen.

Check out CPUtopia's LCD mounts [cputopia.com]. Their prices have gone up a little bit, but they're a great value for the money. I have a 32" TV (Samsung LN32B530) for a primary and a 15" Dell for a secondary on my dual desk-mount [cputopia.com], with no issues. The biggest problem with larger monitors is actually just the width of the monitor - the VESA mount can only get so far (the length of the arm) from the center mounting post. The VESA mounts rotate on the end of the arm too, in case you only want to put them in portrait mode sometimes.

http://stores.ebay.com/CPUtopia-Store may also have the item cheaper, so check there before you place an order.
